PART 2: INCLUSIVE PLANNING & IMPLEMENTATION OF RESEARCH
![Page 18: Overview of CCARDESA](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/588250521a28ab37158b6969/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Philosophies of research planning & implementation
Inclusive
1. All key institutions involved – focus on NARS
2. Plans done jointly
3. Roles clearly defined
4. Technical clusters develop naturally
5. Stakeholder analysis required
6. Institutional administrative structure does not determine implementing team
7. Resources shared according to work packages
![Page 19: Overview of CCARDESA](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/588250521a28ab37158b6969/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Philosophies of research planning & implementation
Non-inclusive
1. Focus is on ‘employer institution’
2. NARS approach minimal
3. Individual plans for each institution
4. ‘Lead’ institution has responsibility
5. No need for stakeholder analysis
6. Institutional administrative structure determines implementing team
7. Resources remain with ‘Lead’ institution
![Page 20: Overview of CCARDESA](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/588250521a28ab37158b6969/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Why inclusive planning and Implementation?
1. Efficient use of:1. Expertise2. Resources3. Facilities
2. Avoids duplication & wastage3. Encourages collaboration (Private sector, public sector,
Civil society organisations, community based organisations, farmer groups, input suppliers, traders etc
4. Improves coherence in research focus5. Encourages progressive research & development of a
country

What does it take?
1. Common vision
2. Collective commitment
3. Individual understanding of benefits
4. Leadership in: a) Changing mind-sets & attitudes
b) Practicing the principle of inclusiveness
5. Institutional change not absolutely necessary BUT could be an effective facilitator.
